Tiger Cloud provides comprehensive backup and recovery solutions to protect your data, including automatic daily backups and point-in-time recovery.

## Automatic backups

Tiger Cloud automatically handles backup for your Tiger Cloud services using the `pgBackRest` tool. You don’t need to perform backups manually.

Tiger Cloud automatically creates one full backup every week, and incremental backups every day in the same region as your service. Additionally, all [Write-Ahead Log (WAL)](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/wal-intro.html) files are retained back to the oldest full backup. This means that you always have a full backup available for the current and previous week:

On [Scale and Performance](/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-azure/pricing-and-account-management/index.md) pricing plans, you can check the list of backups for the previous 14 days in Tiger Console. To do so, select your service, then click `Operations` > `Backup and restore` > `Backup history`.

In the event of a storage failure, a service automatically recovers from a backup to the point of failure. If the whole availability zone goes down, your Tiger Cloud services are recovered in a different zone. In the event of a user error, you can [create a point-in-time recovery fork](../service-management/fork-services).
